My OH has started calling me 'Princess Wheek Wheek' and now before he says anything to me, he wheeks first, because apparently its the only thing that gets my attention.... :)) :)) :))
 
Haha, I was telling my dad about this forum and saying how everyone is so obsessed and crazy about guinea pigs and have them completely spoilt, and he said "you must fit in well there so!"

It's true, we are crazy though . . .
 
I have had complaints from my hubby who thinks he'd be better off if he was a guinea pig...
 
yes i get the whole...'you feed those pigs better than me, those pigs live better than we do..you spend more time with those pigs than you do with me.....'
i just laugh it all off..i know he's joking but then wonder...do i spend sooooo much time in my piggy room?
 
I am also referred to as the 'Guinea Pig Lady' by my work colleagues. I am lucky in that my hubby loves them as much as I do and he spoils them too. In fact after work he's going shopping specifically to buy them more veggies as he was concerned they may not have enough to last until the weekend when we do proper shopping!

I have long since accepted I am obsessed with them! Everyone knows it! My brother thinks I am completly stupid for being on a forum about piggies - he can't understand it!
 
Yep. Its running joke in our office. I'm either on the forum, looking for rescue pigs, cages for pigs or reading up on something about pigs. Got some photos of one of my boys to put on later :P
 
I have noticed it is mainly women on here lol.But from a males perspective i hated Guineas before.I only had eyes for hamsters lol but my dwarfs wouldent let the kids hold them so we bought peppa our first guinea for the kids.shortly after the kids lost interest so we got george the to keep her company.i got a really close bond with these i found it a novelty that you could rest them on your chest and unlike hamsters they dont run away and you can sit there and feed them veggies. after them 2 gave birth we had 7 pigs i was in my element having all these pigs here with each and every one with there own personality.

I think it became clear on sunday when i bought my 2 adopted pigs home for the first time that my gf is now wishing she never bugged me to get one LOL
 
What about this for obsessed...

Ive just brought my little boy home from school and all of the way back he has been telling me about his PSE leson at school (Personal & Social Education)... he said 'mummy I know why you resue guinea pigs, its because we all have to treat animals right and they are like people so you have to have respect for them - HES ALMOST 5 YEARS OLD :))

When we got home he went straight to Tallulah Lolas cage and said 'hello my little darling, its okay because I'm here now and i will go get you some dandelions and you will eat them beause there yummy'... he even tried bargaining with her and said 'if I eat broccoli for my dinner will you eat brocolli too princess'...

I was laughing my head off but trying not to show it... kids eh?

My OH has told me that when we get our own place, we're only allowed 3 guineas....little does he know, the number will expand...and he will have no say over it! If he is allowed his motorbike, I am allowed piggies!

of course it will! plus, if you think about it space wise, how many pigs equal the size of a motorbike? loads :))
 
We've just bought a house in the same village as one of my friends, and unknown to me she has been introducing me to people as 'Sophie the mad guinea pig lady'. I was at her house for lunch last week and one of her friends said 'Oh, you're Sophie GUINEA PIG! I've got your phone number on my fridge....' - apparently she had a guinea pig problem and my friend gave her my number...

It's only a small village, and my reputation as 'mad guinea pig lady' is already big news! rolleyes
